What an incredible experience for all our dancers. Huge thanks to coach Claire and the small team of teachers who helped with additional choreography and coaching, and to the parents and staff who supported the dancers both before and throughout the competition. It was lovely to see the dancers supporting and encouraging each other and dancers from other schools and other countries.
